For the first time ever, John Milton’s Paradise Lost has been adapted into a format any average reader can easily understand. Perfect for a book club, enjoy reading it first and then prepare to watch it performed on the big screen and in auditoriums, stadiums, schools and churches near you. You will be stunned and inspired by this timeless epic — a story that has captured the hearts, souls and imaginations of millions for the last 350 years. “Audiences raised on Lord of the Rings -style, wide-screen wizardry should relish Milton’s cosmic scenery and spectacular battles. Besides, the whole gigantic yarn turns on a love story beyond the reach of Tolkien . . . ”— Boyd Tonkin, The Spectator , March 18, 2017 “As the world becomes increasingly globalized, expect Milton’s seminal work to continue to spread far and wide. In the last 30 years, researchers [have] found that more translations of Paradise Lost have been published than in the 300 years before that.”— Ben Panko, The Smithsonian , July 20, 2017
